Our local hospital in eastern Ontario is fielding a steady stream of inquiries from Quebec doctors looking for work. They won’t all come, and we couldn’t use them all anyway, but they certainly sound serious.
>Please, I understand it’s fun to go to the Bell Centre to watch videos and to get pumped up
I don’t know much about these changes, but this is a dumb way to respond to workers protesting. This will likely be a soundbite used by organizers to get everyone more riled up. Very dismissive way to treat health care workers‘ concerns.
Especially with what happened here in Alberta when Jason Kenny & the UCP did the the exact same thing, you’d think Legault would have the foresight to know this was a bad idea, but he’s going full speed ahead with it regardless.
When the UCP implemented their changes to family doctor contracts[, it brought Alberta from having the highest per capita number of family doctors among the big 5 provinces (with significant growth and stability under PC’s & ANDP) to having the second lowest behind only Ontario after 5 years of the UCP being in power.](https://businesscouncilab.com/insights-category/economic-insights/weekly-econminute-number-of-physicians-per-capita-across-canada/) (the biggest decline of any province by far).
Since this problem is both easily avoidable and Quebec currently has the second highest number of family doctors per capita in the big 5, I’m not sure why he seems so intent on repeating Alberta’s mistake by shooting Quebec’s health system in the foot.
Small rant from someone with no skin in the game. I’m not a fan of the policy behind this bill, but when are Canadians going to admit that medical and health care services industries in Canada aren’t much better than their American counterpart.
They are pushing for every tax dollar at the expense of other social services, but we aren’t allowed to question it because they provide a vital service.
Every day Canadians should want the cost per medical visit to go down over time, whether that’s through an increase in doctors, lower tuition, easier foreign credentials accreditation, and use of cost cutting effective technology. We should all want our tax dollars to go further.
But the truth is that these groups organize well and have wealthy, politically involved members. They will always find a political party to do their bidding at a cost to all Canadians.
Quebec’s premier is not wrong to ask more of doctors, but unfortunately he’s up against well organized group that cares more about money under the guise that they are helping Canadians (even though they restrict access to well trained foreigners who are just as good as them)
